| The Kachang Putei man checking the hot steaming chick-peas |
I have a client who loves chick-peas. She rated highly on the “Vāta Dosha” body type who reacts adversely to legumes. In order to lose weight, she force herself to eat a mostly vegetarian diet which lots of beans and white rice to obtain her complete protein. She was always tired. Her stubborn discipline was rewarded with an almost too thin figure, but a ballooned tummy due to bloating. The discomfort and pain arising from her body aches are also too much for her to bear. “It’s so unfair! Why can’t I have beans just like everyone else?” she protested.
“There is a different plan for everyone dear. That is why you are so unique.” I told her. She finally realizes that there are better food out there for her. Now she is enjoying a wide variety of food and is very happy with her figure and improved health. She still has her occasional chick-peas treats from the Kachang Putei man without complain now. The pain is good for her.
